From: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com>

The memcg_rstat_updated() tracks updates for vmstats_percpu->state
and lruvec_stats_percpu->state. Since these state values are of type long,
change the val parameter passed to memcg_rstat_updated() to long as well.

Correspondingly, change the type of stats_updates in struct
memcg_vmstats_percpu and struct memcg_vmstats from unsigned int and
atomic_t to unsigned long and atomic_long_t respectively to prevent
potential overflow when handling large state updates during the
reparenting of LRU folios.
